Extra Blog Post 1--Discovery of Celtx

So I have encountered something absolutely great (in terms of screenwriting).
A website called Celtx acts as a Google Docs for screenwriting:






I plan on using the website for future projects and if I have extra time during my final presentation, I might introduce it during the Answer 2 portion as it does help my understanding of formatting.

Independent Component 2

Literal:

(a) I, Micah Chambers, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 35 hours and 50 minutes of work. 
(b) Moore, Michael. " Michael Moore's Thirteen Rules For Making Documentary Films." Indiewire. 10 Sept 2014. Web. 21 Jan 2015.
(c) Senior Project Hours
(d) Veronica Lopez and worked on a documentary about fangirls and fangirling, in which we featured interviewees with several students from I-Poly. We also completed a trailer and some posters as a marketing strategy.

Interpretive:

We worked on the film in all five stages (development, pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution). We developed the idea for the film, conducted interviews, edited portions of the film, and worked on hypothetically marketing it.

Evidence: Independent Component 2 Booklet

Applied:

Through working on this documentary, I learned how to create a compelling story, albeit not a narrative, which can lead to a memorable film. We sought out interviewees we knew would have a wealth of knowledge to share, making sure their stories could appeal to the masses should we choose to distribute it. We also discussed the importance of marketing the film and how to make it outstanding.
